Your questions about bath resealing in Hamsterley
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
About our bath resealing in Hamsterley
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hamsterley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Hamsterley
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When to call us in Hamsterley
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
